Because I am a colossal dork, inspired by some conversations I’ve had about the show, I’ve decided to nominate a single scene/sequence in each of these episodes for a “LARP Momnent,” where these moments are practically scenes out of a Vampire: The Masquerade LARP brought to life.

I’ve always heard it said that in restaurants like this, the trick is to say “Give me what you would consider hot.” and they’ll get the hint.

McDonald’s would probably do the McRib year-round except that it’s only really worth it financially when pork prices are low.

I wonder if the ramen powder works better if you’re distributing it among a stupid-large tub of butter. Though even if not, it still mixes pretty well with sour cream for an improvised chip dip. So that’s something.

Or, for that matter, Thor spending pretty much all of Ragnarok learning that he doesn’t really need the hammer, and then the moment things go badly for him, he takes off to the ass-end of the universe to get another one.

I’ve heard ‘a dollar per guest per day that they clean’ most-commonly suggested, adjusted upwards if you leave a messy room. I traditionally do $5 per day, myself. With some more thrown in on the last day if I have to leave something obnoxious to get rid of like an empty box or something like that.

It’s almost like the characterization on some of these folks slips the more the show drifts away from the books. But that can’t be right, can it?

Oh man, I haven’t had these in forever (though I think the ones I had before were made with Frosted Flakes or something similar). Also, it occurs to me I’ve never really hard a name for them that wasn’t just someone’s family’s made-up nickname.

Speaking of Ronan, time has not been nearly as kind to him: When he popped up as a younger Accuser in Captain Marvel, he was somehow even less interesting.

Having never cooked with anchovies before, two quick questions:

I grew up with a mother, who, for all of her faults, managed to raise me on ‘Southern-style’ sweet tea (usually, but not always, ‘sun tea’). And she did so without drawing attention to the fact that there was a difference. We lived just far enough north that not everyplace does sweet tea, let alone Southern sweet tea,…

That would have been a much more effective tie-in than the Thor 2 one, which was “we spend three minutes acknowledging that Thor 2 happened and then deal with something unrelated but still Asgardian.”

What’s fascinating about the Hulk scene, then, is how thoroughly it accomplishes its goals, despite the fact that nothing that happens in it actually matters, or even makes a lick of sense. Despite Stark’s offer of implied recruitment, Thunderbolt Ross wouldn’t show up in the MCU again until Captain America: Civil War

Nope, he never did. But then, given the last time he didn’t finish a comic story until years after losing interest, we’re probably better off.

I marvel at the popularity of Jimmy Johns, given that -even by the lax standards one generally upholds chain sub restaurants to- their food is comically negligent. Their bun of dripping, iceberg lettuce-flecked mayo is as close to the physical manifestation of contempt as I can picture.

But then in Infinity War, it’s all “I’m turning to dust, everyone’s dying, the Earth is fully invaded and the good guys must have already lost to get us to this point, yeah okay call Carol.”

Eh, I’ll pass on both, personally. That said, I’ll let Dr. Walter Bishop take my vote and use it for Red Vines. He’s earned it.

This isn’t the place to get into it, but there’s a lot of weird shadiness with bail, bond, court costs, that sort of thing. There’s a lot of little loopholes and crap like that that courts can and will use to keep money you should be getting back -- especially if, say, an investigation has turned up something where…

I used to work for an A-B distributor. It’s possible things have changed since then, but from what I’ve seen this sort of stupid petty dick-waving is unfortunately pretty standard and entirely sincere. We just don’t normally see it this publicized.

I love cole slaw, even the cheap stuff you get from fast food restaurants, but I still can’t understand why you would hate a sandwich so much as to put slaw on it.
